A different point of view

I’m in the process of going through my photo archive and reevaluating my photography. I came across some photos I shot many years ago. At the time I was working on putting together a fashion portfolio but ultimately wasn’t happy with results because I could not capture the fake perfection that I was aiming for. I never actually took the time to question why I wanted to shoot fashion. What I didn’t see at the time is how the images work as portraits. I was able to capture the authenticity and the subtle moods of the models. My point of view at the time was skewed by what I wanted to capture which was the essence of the manufactured fashion world. I find it interesting that after so many years I can look at the same photos and see a different purpose and actually appreciate the images.
